In version 1.4.2 we worked on adding Easy Profile as avatar and profile (and profile text) provider.

Issue

Easy Profile is not is the dropdown list as provider for the avatar and for the profile page

Expected result

Easy Profile should be selectable as provider in both the Avatar and profile page

Proposed solution

Add Easy Profile as option in administrator/components/com_cjblog/config.xml
for fields:
profile_component and avatar_component

This will work as the actual logic for Easy Profile's avatar and profile page URL is still in cjlib/api

Next step

If we can agree on this change I can create a PR for that.

Not all avatar providers have the functionality to create multiple thumbnailsizes like cjbog does.
Easy Profile has two avatars: the original (in my case configured to 200x200) and a thumbnail (50x50)

Issue

When displaying the avatar in the author_info (layout) the image is retreived via the cjlib api. The api function getUserAvatarImage returns the original Easy Profile avatar (size 200x200). the layout author_info will display the avatar with the 200x200 size NOT respecting configured size $params->get('article_avatar_size', 96);

Expected result

All avatars (from all avatar providers) should be able to display the avatar in the configured size

Proposed solution

Change
....style="min-width: <?php echo $avatarSize;?>px;">
to
style="max-width: <?php echo $avatarSize;?>px;">

in layout/author_info.php

Next step

If we can agree on this change I can create a PR for that.

Not sure if this is intended or not :)

Issue

the Article view is 'missing' the article / author / social Media sharing info on the top of the article

Expected result

There should be a info box (configurable to show / hide) on top of the article showing:
author avatar, author name (both linked to profile if pro-capabilities)
hits, hot or not, category, etc.
Social Media sharing buttons.

Proposed solution

add a additional layout that will be added via the cjblog content plugin to the article text vai this line of code:
$article->text = '<div id="cj-wrapper">' . $toolbarHtml . $titleHtml . $tagsHtml . $imagesHtml . $article->text . $socialSharingHtml . $authorInfoHtml . '</div>';

Next step

Discuss if this is left out intentionally, if not and it needs to be readded a layout (design / functionality) should be discussed.

Hi,
one of the features of template (eg Gavick) is the special position etc. they have in the template for fulltext images

Issue

when enabling cjblog the displayed article is 'corrupted' when it comes to the placement of the fulltext image

Expected result

Fulltext image should be handled by the template OR by cjblog

Proposed solution

Create a configuration option with which you can disable handling the full text image by cjblog in the plg_content_cjblog

Next step

Discuss if this is an option, if so I can do a PR for that.

In version 1.4.2 we added the pro-capabilities functionality. That functionality was to configure via ACL a Joomla group that would have additional functionalities:

1. About text would be displayed
2. Avatar would link to profile page
3. Name would link to profile page

When a user was NOT member of the configured Joomla Group the above three rules would not apply (no about text, no links to user profile)

Issue

Version 2.0 only handles the about text via the pro-capability and not the avatar and profile link.
When an author is NOT member of the pro-capability ACL his avatar and name will still link to his profile.

Expected result

When an author is NOT member of the pro-capability ACL his avatar and name should NOT link to his profile.

Proposed solution

There are two possible solutions for this:

1. add pro-capability check to api/getUserProfileUrl
2. add pro-capalitity to all cjlog views / layouts that call api/getUserProfileUrl (this is how it was handled in 1.4.2)

Next step

I think this change should be part of cjlib/api/getUserProfileUrl because then you do one change and change it for all current and future functionality.

When clicking on a user in the "User Manager" page of the CJBlog component , the error (An error has occurred. 0 Call to undefined method Joomla\CMS\Form\Field\EditorField::save()) appears.
My Joomla version is 4.2.8. and I have installed cjlib_v3.3.2.zip and cjblog_v3.0.3.zip.

In version 1.4.2 we added a custom tag (e.g. {jssocials}) as Social Media buttons provider.

Issue

Version 2.0 handles the placement of Social Media buttons via corejoomla plugins that are triggered on onSocialsDisplay. One plugin is provided as part of the cjlib package.

Expected result

It should be possible to configure a custom tag (text field) that will be displayed and rendered as part of the content plugins to add the possibility of adding other (existing / non corejoomla plugins) to add Social Media buttons.

Proposed solution

There are two solutions:

1. Preferred (for me :) > add in the plg_corejoomla_socials.zip an extra text field 'custom tags'
   return the contents of that text field if not empty. Tested this and it works)

2. Create a new plugin that triggers on onSocialsDisplay and that returns the configured text field.

Next step

I can do both preferred changes for you (not via PR as these plugins are part of cjlib which is not on github).
Easiest would be to make the change for the plg_corejoomla_socials plugin as this will then be automatically be part of the cjlib package.
